F            C 
Busy at home 
      Bb 
I was happy for a while 
        C 
But the joke is over 
F              C 
Looking down 
       Bb                 C 
At the carefully laid out infamy 
       F                       C 
Take a scythe, take a scythe, 
       Bb 
To the rotting core 
   C 
Of man-vegetaton 
F            C 
Now I sigh 
       Bb                         C 
At the cool cool attitude to ignorance 
    A5 
The look in your eyes 
         G5 
When you gave this to me 
     A5           G5 
Just put me on my guard 
        F 
In this elegant chaos 
C                   Bb C 
I stand to one side 
Shouting "ha" 
Was I forced into this?

Or was it given to me? 
It's a nice idea - 
As a gift 
Or as something to try for a while 
70 years? 
It's neither one thing or the other 
My big fear 
Is to dig it at last 
And have it taken away 
bridge, no real chords - so I made them up 
Am                    E 
It?s not a problem of secrecy 
  G             D 
I take it in my stride 
      A                      E 
Did I learn to breathe to be killed like this? 
Am           E 
Faces to the glass 
           G           D 
I see them televise my death 
        A 
Oh, and here comes the part 
        E 
Where I break down and cry. 
People I see 
Just remind me of mooing 
Like a cow on the grass 
And that's not to say 
That there's anything wrong 
With being a cow anyway 
But people are people 
With the added advantage 
Of the spoken word 
We're getting on fine 
But I feel more of a man 
When I get with the herd.
